In winter, the problem of difficult starting of cars is more common, and the phenomenon of power loss of old vehicles is common. Maintenance personnel reminded that due to the influence of temperature, the battery capacity will become smaller. Therefore, car owners should pay attention to turn off the power first and then turn off the engine when using the electrical equipment on the car.
Signs of power loss: ignition difficulty
Maintenance personnel pointed out that there are usually some symptoms of low battery power, such as difficulty in ignition, and it takes several ignitions to start; The second is that the headlights feel significantly dimmed at idle. The power loss is generally related to the battery status. If there is frequent power loss, it is recommended to replace the car battery. Generally speaking, the battery life is 2~3 years.
Scientific use of vehicles prolongs battery life
In addition to the normal end of battery life, unscientific use of vehicles will also aggravate battery power loss. Car owners should develop good car habits to extend the life of the battery.
When the car is parked for a long time, it is necessary to start the vehicle in time and charge the battery by driving. Since the battery capacity will be reduced due to the low temperature in winter, it is recommended to drive the vehicle for a lap after parking for a week in winter, so that the battery power can be effectively replenished. The effect of idling charging is generally poor, and it is not recommended to replenish power at idling. In addition, driving is also conducive to the lubrication and protection of oil on the vehicle engine, reducing engine carbon deposits and other benefits.
Pay attention to the scientific use of electrical equipment. In order to ensure the battery power, it is recommended to turn off the electrical equipment when using the car, and then turn off the engine. In addition, try not to continue listening to music, lift windows, etc. after turning off the flame. In addition, if the air conditioner is not turned off in time after the vehicle is turned off, the air conditioner system will automatically start when the vehicle is ignited again, which will directly cause the vehicle’s instantaneous power load to be too high, which will cause battery loss over time.
